stupid guest tricks on disneyland rr?

[americawestguy]

what are some stupid guest tricks that happen on the Disneyland Railroad? Any rude or mean guests? i am sure there a few!!!

[GuestJockey]

Jumping off the train while it's still moving, generally not following any rules.

[CujoSR]

Oh Zazu could tell you stories. Oh wait he has.

Wow...
Well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by that.

[Mad Maxx]

Well, there is always Mr. Smiley... :D:

Does have stories about the Disneyland RR? I have only seen his WDW RR stories.

[Zazu]

Two coasts, two railroads, but only one source of guests, so the same stupid.

Not Disneyland RR, but when I worked at Knott's on the Calico Railroad, I had to put up with rude cheermoms who let their little darlings through the turnstile when they weren't supposed to, once had some whack job pull a knife on a Bandit, as well as him messing around 9guy must have been onb drugs), kids thinking it's hilarious to trip me when I'm doing the inside safety check, H/C guest who unlatched the H/C gate when the train was appoaching the station, causing the train to stop well back of the usual place. And let's not forget the idiots who jumped me and injured my arm because I told them the park and the train were closed for the night. And yes, they eventually admitted that they were trying to start trouble.

BTW, why was I directed to check the agree to forum rules when I clicked reply?

Don't feel bad, I got the same message. I guess they want to remind us occasionally to follow the rules and behave ourselves. ;)

They supposedly changed them. They made the announcement here (http://www.stupidguesttricks.com/showthread.php?t=5247). I can't see what's different about them though.

I have a good story to share. This happened about 5 to 7 years ago. There was a train refilling with water. The train conductor forgot to lift the water line. The train started to go on the normal route in New Orleans. A few short moments went by and the water line was snapped in 2. Water expolded every where. All I remember was seeing water trickling down the hill towards Pirates. Later my friends and I found out about the area getting a nice drenching.

[Ms. Matterhorn]

Ha ha! Stupid Cast Member Trick!

[felinefan]

I forgot to add to my list of Knott's SGT's on the Calico RR that one time we had an elderly Dutch couple with limited English skills. When the Bandits went through, apparently the husband though it was real and punched one of the Bandits.:eek: Needless to say, they got to meet our security officers at the depot, who had to find a Dutch interpreter to tell them that hitting a Bandit is a really bad idea.

Wow-wee!

In another time and place, he would have been a hero!

One of MANY SG stories on the DRR...

I was loading guests at Main Street Station. I finished loading, and it was time to get ready to depart. There were about 15 people left in the queue for the next train. As I was closing the Load Gate, this woman starts walking up from the very end of the line...

"Excuse me, I'm handicapped. I need to get on this train."

No cane, no crutches, no wheelchair, no visible sign of any disability other than the white respirator she was wearing (you know, the ones you can buy at Home Depot).

"Do you have a Guest Assistance Card?"

"No! No...no! I'm not dealing with that crap! I need to get on that train."

"Well, I'm sorry, but you're at the back of the line, and I can't just let you in ahead of everyone without a Guest Assistance Card."

"It's just me. Just one. I have health problems. I need to get on that train!"

"Unfortunately, I can't let you in ahead of everyone like that. If you would like to, you can head down to City Hall and discuss your nee--"

"NO! I'm a Premium Pass Holder! I pay three hundred and (something) dollars to come here!"

"So does every other Premium Pass Holder..."

"Oh, now you're being a little smart ass? I don't need to be talked to by a smart ass!"

"Ma'am, please watch your language."

"This is bullshit! I've been run into, bumped into, and coughed on all day! I'm a Premium Pass Holder! My husband is a Malibu cop... SWAT team."

*Raise my eyebrow as if to say "What the hell are you talking about?"*

"I'm not impressed by you with your--your...braces! Staring at me through your dark sunglasses!"

*Completely straight-faced now* "Ok... The next train will be here in 5 minutes."

"I'm going to report you! I'm going to report you to your supervisor! I'm going to talk to your managers! I'm going to write a letter to the CEO!"

*Hop on my train. Leave Main Street.*


I was told later that day by another Conductor that one of the guests in line who witnessed the whole thing came over to him and told him what happened and that I was very professional and handled it well, and that he wanted to make sure I wouldn't get in trouble because of a crazy woman like that.




THE NEXT DAY!!! She's back. Exact same situation. She apparently doesn't remember me. I finished loading at MS, she was at the back of the line, she came forward and demanded she get on the train. I didn't want to deal with her AGAIN...

"I'm sorry, this train needs to leave now. The next one will be here in 5 minutes."

"You know, you guys did this to me last time too!"

"I know...I remember you." *Big cheesy smile*

"Oh, so is that why you're not letting me on the train?"

*Fed up* "No! I'm not letting you on this train because you're at the back of the line and you can't just demand to cut in front of everyone! It doesn't work that way."

*Visibly stunned by my response, and obviously not used to being put in her place* LONG PAUSE WITH BLANK STARE "....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."



This woman was an extreme pain... As was typing this entire novel of a story, lol.

[turkeyham]

Wow! SG who think they can pull that stunt should have their passes bought back and be banned from the park.

I have injuries that are worst than that after a car crash that occured 20 years ago. If I am in pain, I stay home and deal with it. I don't need a GAC for this. I broke both ankles and I now have to deal with bad bone spurs. My fractures required screws in both feet which I said no to. When the weather changes, I can feel the pain and feel my feet crack. Ace bandages are the best answer to this problem.

[hobie16]

"....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[Lasolimu]

"....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

Is that really the best she could come up with? I mean you weren't telling her what to do, you were telling her what she couldn't do, there is a big difference. I think we need some responses from people around her on what she could have said that would be better. I think she could have gone along the same line as Iger lady from lost and found.

[Disneyguy85]

....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

I can just imagine a stand up comic;

"Take my wife...Please!"

[BRWombat]

Wow! SG who think they can pull that stunt should have their passes bought back and be banned from the park....Or better yet, just revoke them. If they're upset over the lost value, let 'em sue.

I tried to quote only that last line--I must be doing something wrong. Highlighting then hitting quote apparently is not how it's done.

Okay, I think the best response to her saying she's not married to you would be "There is a God!" And yeah, have her pass revoked. She just wants to be a pain.

[Shorty82]

The Internet doesn't work that way, there's no way for a website to know what you've highlighted. To quote just part of a post you hit "Quote" then simply delete the parts you don't want from the text box.

Yesterday I heard the cast member saying her spiel: you kids need to be seated away from the opening side of the train. Some SG family thought the kid could sit on the steps while riding. SOL! Parents argued and security kicked them off the train.

When I was at WDW lat fall, my friends and I were on the train to heard out towards Splash Mountain. I saw SG trying to get off the train before it arrived to the station. I saw the swamps. Has anyone seen gators near the tracks? :eek:

[Shorty82]

Has anyone seen gators near the tracks? :eek:

I'm sure gators come up to the tracks sometimes. I know there are gators in the area. I've heard of them in the Rivers of America and in the creek that the train follows along the backstretch. The backstretch is where I'd be worried about gators on the WDWRR, not in the area around the Frontierland station. That whole area is well away from any waterways. Not saying it's impossible, just unlikely.

[kurtisnelson]

There ARE gators in Splash Mountain. And that is near the RR.
I wonder if guests would be able to tell if an alligator on the back stretch was real.

[Disneyguy85]

Parents argued and security kicked them off the train.

Good! :D:

[turkeyham]

If there are gators out there, we should see if they are hungry. Let a few guests loose from the train. Yell "Dinner Time." See the guests expression and see them try to climb back into the train with missing limbs.

I know over at MCO that gators have gotton on the run ways causing planes not to take off or land.

Still looking for that 2nd gator at beginning of DLR's POTC......:o:

New story:

We have a managers' office in Adventureland where the Leads have to go to turn in paperwork, etc. They'll usually ride the train from Main Street to New Orleans, then walk from there, seeing as to how it is a much shorter walk.

I was on Holiday 5 (which was pulling the Lilly Belle). I had the radio. Our Lead was riding up to NO. She gets off at NO. We depart. Apparently she noticed something as we were leaving. The radio calls went something like this:

"Holiday 5 from Conductor 1"

"Holiday 5 by" (short for 'standing by')

"Holiday 5, be advised: You have some guests in the Lilly Belle. Can you go ahead and kick them out?"

"10-4. Should I throw them out on the River, or wait until we get to Toontown?"

*Laughing* "Wait until you get to Toontown." *More laughing*



I'm such a smart-ass...

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

"....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

Apparently, you can tell her what to do. I believe on the AP and admission tickets states that ALL guests must listen to and follow the instructions that a CM tells them. It DOES NOT say that they can do whatever they want.

Hmmm, so I need to get a CM to talk to DW next time at the park!!!!


hehehehehhehehee

I was talking to another SG in the park a few weeks ago. I was sitting outside BTRR and the lady said I want to go on that. I told her that it was a roller coaster. She said that is not a roller coaster. There is a few other train rides I mentioned to her. Casey Jr and the Disneyland RR. She said, no, the one she pointed at was BTRR and she said it is small and does not go fast. Like duh! I said good luck finding the small one.

Some of these SG just can't figure it out. :mad:
